I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

How about making some lovely accessories using felt? Here are practical item ideas you can use every day or give as gifts.

Felt is easy to handle and doesn’t fray when cut, so even if you’re not confident in your crafting skills, you can try it with ease.

From everyday items like pouches, coasters, and eyeglass cases to accessories like brooches and hair ties, there are plenty of cute ideas.

Choose felt in your favorite colors and patterns, and create original pieces that are uniquely yours!

The Very Hungry Caterpillar baby hat

A baby cap that keeps your little one warm.

Let’s make it in the shape of the small caterpillar from the popular children’s book The Very Hungry Caterpillar! Cut red felt to fit your baby’s head: make one piece a half-circle, and the other a half-circle with a small semicircular opening in the center.

Attach purple felt antennae for the caterpillar, then glue the two red felt pieces together.

Create the eyes and nose from green and yellow felt and attach them to finish! Using a hook-and-loop (Velcro) closure is recommended so you can adjust the size as your baby grows.

A key cover is an item that protects your key and hides the key number for security by covering the part you hold when inserting the key.

Let’s make a key cover out of felt without using a needle or thread! Once you have felt in your favorite color, cut out two half-circle pieces sized to fit the head of the key you want to cover.

Apply fabric glue along the curved edges of the half-circles, press them together, and turn it inside out.

Next, punch a hole for the key ring, and add decorations like a ribbon if you like—that’s it! You can also add felt decorations to the key ring side if you prefer.

necklace

Let’s try making a necklace using felt in various colors.

Take strips of felt, fold each strip in half, secure it with a hot glue gun or similar, and roll it up tightly.

By changing the length of the strips, you can make larger or smaller rolled pieces.

Glue the rolled pieces together, attach a cord with metal findings, and your necklace is complete.

Of course, you can also cut the felt into any shapes you like to create a necklace.

Have fun making lots of lovely pieces!

Easy placemats made with thick felt

placemat

Let’s try making placemats out of felt for mealtime! Prepare two colors of thick felt that you like.

Cut one color into thin, long vertical strips and the other into thin, long horizontal strips.

Combine them by weaving the strips together to create a checkerboard pattern.

Staple the edges to hold them in place.

Once everything is woven, trim off any excess ends, then glue another piece of felt around the perimeter to create a border—and you’re done! They’re easy to make, so feel free to make plenty for your family and guests.
